Souper Bowl Fundraiser
Each year, NBCC's Souper Bowl fundraiser brings the Augusta community together to support our mission. In 2025, the event raised $6,337 — funds that go directly toward free meals, activities, and services for the families and seniors we serve.
Milestones like these are only possible because of the generosity of our board members, volunteers, donors, and community partners who show up year after year.
